It is acceptable to service a rarely driven car only once a year. Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain components of a vehicle, also known as automotive upkeep. Automotive maintenance is based on the principle that a car's technical condition changes with mileage, and it specifies different levels of service items. Modern car maintenance primarily includes servicing the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, and more. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean and in good technical condition, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the vehicle's lifespan.

How to Make Car Windows Waterproof?

Methods to waterproof car windows are mainly as follows: 1. Rain repellent products can be used to treat the windshield, effectively dispersing rain and snow adhering to the glass. 2. When raindrops fall on treated car windows, they quickly form small water beads under the action of the protective layer. When these beads grow large enough, they slide off due to gravity, simultaneously removing dust from the glass and cleaning it. 3. When using rain repellent products, be careful not to apply them on plastic parts, painted surfaces, non-transparent surfaces, or surfaces already treated with anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, or other protective coatings.
